Did the cream Poison Them ,

A brother Of Capt. q. S. Wiley of York
street, who was visiting him on Monday,
bought quantity Of ice cream that evening
and carried 1t home. Capt. and Mrs. Wiley
and their two children partook of the cream,
and in the night were taken very sick. DR..
Hutchinson attended them. They are out of
danger. but Mrs. Wiley is quite feeble.
They think the Ice cream poisoned them.
Mrs. s. c. Rand and her brother, Mr.. Cum
mings, Of Spring street, ate ice cream from
the same saloon, the same night, and were
also taken very sick. Mrs. Rand is still quite
i'll.
Mr.. l.. J. Perkins, at whose store the ice
cream was purchased, says his daughter and
himself were both affected by the cream.
and from investigation. as far as he. can
learn, the persons who were affected, like
himself, ate only of the cream favored with
vanilla. He bought his vanilla from New
York firm that advertised the best fiayoring
at high prices Fifteen gallons of cream
favored with vanilla were thrown away
Tuesday morning Some so favored must
have been accidentally overlooked, for Mrs.
John Williamson and her adopted daughter
were taken sick on Tuesday night and
young man whose name we did not get.
The Sanitary Journal says that many con-
PETITIONERS use glue instead of gelatine in
their cream TO make it smooth and firm, and
that many cases like poisoning have been
traced to its use. 1t is not probable that any
such material was used at Perkins, but all
confectioners should know that gelatine is
the only safe article to employ.

BOSTON & QUEBEC AIR LINE.
The Petition for Approval Of Location
Denied.

Yesterday, the Railroad Commissioners
gave their decision in the matter of approy-
al of location of the Boston & Quebec Air
Line road, which it is proposed to run from
Skowhegan to Jackmanton, distance of rs
miles, to connect with the Canadian Pacific
at that point.
1t viii be borne in mind that at the great
railroad meeting held at Skowhegan, June
29th, In reference to this matter, Hon. w. l..
Putnam, counsel for the Somerset road.
which opposes the location, raised an import
ant point. The law specifies that when a
railroad corporation organizes under the
general law and comes to the Railroad Com
missioners for an approval of its location, it
shall have had surveys made and prepared,
with maps, of its location. But, in the pres
emit case, the petitioners have made surveys
only to Bingham, and they ask for the ap-
proval of the location of the road only to
Solon Mr.. Putnam objected that the law
requires them to bring the entire location
embraced in its articles of association before
the Commissioners for approval. This point
was never before raised
The petition for the approval of the arti-
cles Of association was granted by the
Commissioners. The articles of association
set forth that the road was to be built by the
association to Jackmanton. The petition for
the approval Of the location covered only
portion of that dstance-as stated by Mr..
Putnam-and the Commissioners denied that
petition because they say. according to law
they must approve the entire location and
not part only of the entire line. OF course
twill be possible for the petitioners to again
come before the Commissioners for approval
of site after the entire location has been sur
veyed and maps prepared according to law.

A YOUTHFUL EIENo
Makes Murderous Assault on His
Brother.


George E. Lawrence, aged twelve years.
was brought before Judge Gould yesterday
for murderous assault on his brother at
Cape Elizabeth. Lawrence, after his parents
death, some months ago became perfect
little "hoodlum" and he was sent west on to
a brothers ranch in Kansas, to see what
could be done to reform him. But he was
full of his pranks there and on the third day,
while tending herd of sheep, skipped out
and 1t was long time before he could be
found. Finally the brother gave up the lob
In despair and sent him back to Cape Eliza
BETH
Sunday last the boy had been making him
sell generally annoying and his brother,
with whom he was living, gave him serious
lecture. Later the two brothers retired.
When they had been In bed little while the
older brother. John, heard George open a
knife and then pass his hand down his face
and over his throat. John jumped and
seized Georges hand just as he was about to
stick the knife in his throat John then
brought the boy before Judge Gould and
asked that he be sent to the Reform School.
The boy denied that he intended to stab his
brother but could not explain why he took
the knife to bed with him. Judge Gould
bound the boy over to the grand jury in the
sum of $500.
